Varchar filtering in where condition

sg_kr — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 12:02:10 GMT

Hi ,

i have a column agt_cde as varchar of length 200 in NZ.

when i imported to sas by set statement, it is having same length ,informat & format.

when i try to filter the agt_cde by where condition, its showing 0 records.

so,i changed that to length to $7. using input,even though its not filtering.

can you please help me out with the reason for this.

thanks in advance!!

What is "NZ", New Zealand...

If you reading through an SAS/ACCESS libname, add

options msglevel=i sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix;

to your program.

try left(trimn()) as well.

Show the log with these options enabled.
